"Grime Vs. Grandeur" was recorded between December 2004 and January 2005. During the production everything started feeling more focused again. With Stefan now sharing the songwriting duties with Kristoffer, who was responsible for about 25% of the music, he made sure only top notch material would surface on the album. He also left the lyrics to Kristoffer in order to focus on what he liked most - creating epic power metal!
